Alex, I never look more than 3 hours ahead (or 2 days back)
Could be though. You gonna come in and visit? I was wondering where you were this past weekend. It was really good. I am hurt pretty good and can't do much, but it was still fun riding around.

Thanks Chris. I don't want to reinvent the wheel. You did a good job on that map. I just want to change a few things on it and if possible, embed it.

Yeah, I have a bunch embedded on the wiki. http://www.tbka.org/TBKAWiki/index.p...Local_Launches

My understanding (might be wrong) is that each URL has a specific api key (which you no doubt got from google maps). I am not sure that your map will work on the wiki site, (on purpose to prevent intellectual theft). That's the whole idea of the key, right? If you can figure a way to use your map on the TBKA site, that'd be good I sent you pm's and stuff. Thanks

naw, you're looking at the tampa bay marine forecast which they always dilute way down. They also have the gulf forecasts broken down to inshore and offshore which are usually way more accurate. I don't really want a gale anyways:

TARPON SPRINGS TO SUWANNEE RIVER OUT 20 TO 60 NM-
ENGLEWOOD TO TARPON SPRINGS OUT 20 TO 60 NM-
BONITA BEACH TO ENGLEWOOD OUT 20 TO 60 NM-

SUNDAY
NORTH WINDS 15 TO 20 KNOTS. SEAS 3 TO 5 FEET. A SLIGHT
CHANCE OF SHOWERS.

SUNDAY NIGHT AND MONDAY
NORTHWEST WINDS AROUND 20 KNOTS.
SEAS 5 TO 7 FEET.

MONDAY NIGHT
NORTHWEST WINDS 20 TO 25 KNOTS...BECOMING NORTH
SEAS 5 TO 7 FEET.

TUESDAY
NORTH WINDS 15 TO 20 KNOTS. SEAS 5 TO 7 FEET.

Yep, it is fun when I can still ride my 12m in 35 while you are all on 7's!!! There is always that one hero who comes over to my "rescue" and tells me that it is "too much" for me to ride my 12M in that kind of wind...always a good laugh!! And the jumps on that thing in 35 are nice and high!!!

Either way it is good for me...light winds - Kathryn can take lessons and fly the trainer kite...high winds - I get to ride!!!

It looks like a reasonable chance of wind. No guarantees of anything starting about this time of year.
